During the European Championship round of 16 match between Germany and Denmark in Dortmund, a man climbed onto the roof of the Westfalenstadion and had to be brought down by the police. Police approached the man during the match between Germany and Denmark “to ensure that he was safely transported away,” Dortmund police said on Saturday.
The game had to be temporarily interrupted due to a thunderstorm in Dortmund. In the 35th minute, the English referee Michael Oliver stopped the match between Germany and Denmark. The game was able to resume around 25 minutes later.
